Authorship for articles with more than one author
-
Hello,
Is there any way to do authorship for articles with more than one author listed? If so, how?
-
Co-authorship is definitely possible.
If you are on wordpress you can use this https://wordpress.org/plugins/co-authors-plus/
It's pretty much the same concept for other platforms.

Hi Bob,
Remember that still if you use this plugin for co-authors Google will always pick the first editor and use their picture in the attribution for Google Authorship in the SERPs (in which I don't say that they won't attribute it to both but just show the first).
-
Yep, in terms of Google picking it up in the SERPs, they are only going to display 1 author (if appropriate).
So, it depends on whether or not that is your intended goal.

What's a good guide for doing this? We're using Joomla and if Google just displays the first author that'll work great.
